E. Coli reproduces so fast that a population can double in size in half an hour, and human feces is 50% bacteria by weight.
If your gut microbiome got snapped it'd be back so fast you wouldn't even notice. Bacteria are kinda scary.
Yeah, worst case scenario stock prices for probiotic yoghurt would increase.
Looks like Jamie Lee Curtis is joining the MCU.
Not a bad thing?
Wait, do you have a source for the 50% number?
My bad -- looks like I misread the Google summary. A healthy turd is 75% water, and of what's left, around 25-50% is made up of microbes.
The second most significant ingredient after water is bacterial biomass — both alive and dead organisms; this makes up 25–54 percent of the dry weight of poop.
